Lydia Puking: All day today Lily and the girls are in transit to Salt Lake. They wont arrive until 6:30 PM tomorrow. They were excited for their 9 hour layover in Japan, but then Lydia got really sick from the food she ate at Jollibee and she puked red vomit all over the floor near the line they were all in. Lily told me that when Lydia told her she had to throw up, she said, “Not now Lydia, you always choose the worst times to introduce drama.” Lydia then said she really did need to puke, but Lily still insisted that it wait since they just got to the end of the line they had waited in. At that point Lydia just started sprinting to get to a bathroom, and she didn’t make it. She did get to the end of the line so she managed to not puke on any people (except herself and apparently some got on Lily). Lily said there was an audible gasp in the croud. Lily was feeling a bit penitent about her response to Lydia, but I thought it was a really funny story. Lydia was feeling much better by the time I talked to her several hours later. So instead of seeing Japan, they all hung out at the airport for the 9 hour layover so they could rest and so Lydia could be near a bathroom. Even though they didn’t get their last outing in Japan, they did get to have a more relaxed pace (and not have to worry about their ever shrinking supply of cash needed for Taxis to get to and from the airport), and they got to shop at sweet shops in the airport, which were amazing. Also, it was really fun to facetime with Lily, Lydia and Mary tonight while they were waiting at the airport. We cannot wait to see them!
Playing in the snow. We had a snow storm yesterday and since then Clarissa has been begging to go play in it. I spent the morning catching up on blogging, but after that, I took them out to play in the snow. I got a little shoveling done too, but mostly we just worked on a fort together. It was super fun. Clarissa eventually said her ear was very itchy and then went inside and fell asleep on the floor. I hope that doesn’t mean she’s getting an ear infection! I had to record her sweet 6 year old snores. I think they are the cutest!
Taking care of business: After playing in the snow with the kids, I banished them to the upstairs while I spent several hours on the house. Filling the container up almost all the way yesterday was a major feet, but it it did leave the house looking like a tornado hit it. I put things back together and also made more progress on the garage. I really enjoyed listening to Dixie Chicks, Dave Matthews Band and Morgan Heritage while working. I want Lily and the kids to come home to a somewhat presentable house and things in decent order. I can’t wait to see them!!
